Wow.
I just had a seizure.

This is probably not the most appropriate forum for teen decor... My recommendation is to keep it simple... But I'm old (34!!!), so what do I know.

My eyes! my eyes!
Gads, that first one is painful, the others aren't much better. Sorry, NN, but I don't think you'll get a lot of help on these from us modernist types. We like calm design. not frantic!

It's 'cheap'.
Or is 'cheep!' a screaming teen word for Ikea.

I like it. Toss it all together and have fun. Most major cities have donation sites
that have materials for free. Including paint if you want to do it yourself.

I just donated 300 gallons to this NYC location. http://www.mfta.org/

Like Olive, i've matured a bit, but i did have a loft that was described as
'Pee Wee meets Lost in Space'. Makes no sense but it was fun...

I do think it is a healthy creative outlet to mix some wild textures at home.
Especially when young and experimenting.

I love PeeWee Herman!
We have the entire series on DVD and when I need somehing relaxing and mindless to stare at it always does the trick. So funny, even 20 years later and loaded with such a cast of character....I mean Lawrence Fishburne as a dorky cowboy for heaven's sake.

Life needs silly, whimsical, childish things. I love stuff like that...just not in design!

patterns can be modern--
google "the eames house"--look for pictures of what Ray and Charles Eames did with patterns and textures.....

How about
BLACK AND WHITE ?

Will Bradley -- America's answer to Beardsley, and Mackintosh, all in one !

I got these images from the inexpensive book linked below, which I have had for decades. Nice stuff. Give you eyes and mind a color-break, and indulge in pattern ?
